Prologue: Sent to safety.
Rebellion was raging outside the castle walls. No one knew exactly why or how this started but everyone understood that the situation was grave and had to be stopped as soon as possible. A young boy was running down the corridors towards his mother's chambers, an eerie feeling choking him. He ran as fast as he could, trying to ignore the sounds of the battles around him. He finally arrived in front of a great oak door. Without any hesitation he pushed it open, hoping that he had been wrong to worry over his mother and little sister.
The sight that greeted him made his blood freeze in his veins. A silver haired boy about his age was grouching on the floor beside a beautiful woman. He recognized his best friend and his mother and normally he would have been happy to see them, but today was completely different than usual, especially the fact that there was blood all over the ground!
"What happened, Yukito?" The dark haired boy asked his friend but his question was futile. He saw a big gash in his mother's side and knew that she would not survive. He ran towards her and took one of her freezing hands. The moment he touched her she opened her eyes, a small smile forming on her lips.
"I'm so glad you're here Touya" she said weakly. The boys quickly told her to stay silent and to manage her strength but she interrupted them. "I will die anyways, there is no use denying it. My dear son, I beg you, stay safe and protect Sakura, she is the only hope for the dark times to come. And…give her the book and…" But she never finished her sentence as life ebbed away and death took her soul.
The young prince fought back his tears and stood up. It is only then did he notice the sleeping form of his six years old sister in his mother's bed.
"Did she see everything?" He whispered to his friend. Sadly, the silver haired boy nodded.
"I put a sleeping spell on her. Touya, it is not safe here, we must send her elsewhere." Said the magician knowing that the later knew all that already.
"Yes, please take her to the Yamazaki family. But first, could you make her forget what happened? She shouldn't know who she really is." Then he went to the bookshelf, taking an old book and went o his mother. Around her neck was a small pendant that he knew was the key to the book for she often told him about the magic contained in the mysterious book he held in his hands. Taking it of the Queen's body, he put the silver chain around his sister's neck. Delicately as if she was made of the most fragile material, Touya wrapped her in a bundle of blankets and carried her out of the room.
"Let me take her there." Tsukishiro Yukito said. "I will conceal our presence will a simple charm and bring her to safety." The other boy only nodded, not trusting his voice. He had to be strong for his family. He watched the retreating form of his friend and his sister and even when they were out of sight, he stayed at the window for a long time. Finally, he pulled himself together and went towards the throne room to explain the situation to the last family member left, his father and king, Kinomoto Fujitaka.
